Monday, March 27 Quiet seas, like a millpond! 28 C. Midway between the South and North Atlantic Oceans. Day 83.
The two sea days we have between our walk in the Jungle in Abidjan and Gambia are needed by our weary bodies. We usually do not walk over four miles in a day in extreme heat and high humidity with not enough water, plain and simple.
We had an easy day today, fortunately. Breakfast, Choir Practice for Fellette, Gym for me, then a talk on the two ports coming up: Gambia and Senegal. Following that Port Talk we took in an interesting talk by an excellent speaker and story teller.
On the upcoming Ports, Gambia and Senegal, we have shore excursions booked, with the Cutlers. Both are long, six or seven hours, but not killers and should/hope be interesting.
After dinner that night, Thursday, we have an ‘Out of Africa Party’ on the very top deck, Under Canvas, the party put on by the Captain. We were invited obviously because we paid too much for our Suite! It is a fitting name: Out of Africa and excellent timing, as, after that, I figure that we are almost in to Fully Developed Countries.
It will be quite a landmark for me to be ‘Out of Africa’ on Thursday: three days hence. Ever since we booked this cruise there were those Five West African Ports that I was not familiar with and had low expectations of them. We have had three of them, which met my expectations, two more to go...
A Good Day…
The Crawling Red Line that heads up to Europe and Spring.
